Calibrating a Scan N Cut - and a GIVEAWAY

I have had a couple of emails from people wanting to know how I calibrated my machine. For some reason it doesn't make this clear in the instruction book. You need to do this if your cuts are even a tiny bit 'off'. I had a tiny white border on one side when I scanned an image and cut, doing this has sorted it

1. Turn on your machine, touch the screen with your finger, keep your finger in place and turn off the machine. Turn on again

Okay, you can put your finger away now - here's the screen you will see. You need to very carefully touch the center of each + with your stylus. Do it in order, start with number one, then two, ending with the middle one labelled 5.You need to be precise, if your hand wobbles and you don't hit the center, just do it over again.....

This success message will show when you have completed the calibration. Switch the machine off, then back on and it's ready to use again

I promised you a giveaway. I brought some stuff back with me from the USA, this isset one, and will go to someone living in Europe - which includes us here in the UK of course!The winner will get a flower shaped chipboard mini album, a set of Martha Stewart stamp around the page clear stamps - these have borders and corners, so you can stamp frames around your cards, some Recollections (exclusive to Michaels stores) fibers and flowers. Not in the photo is some gorgeous coloured burlap that I found which I will share with the winner

SET ONE

Here is set two, which will be sent to someone from North or South America - read on if your country hasn't been mentioned yet....The winner will get a fantastic double CD called BonBon Belles from Polkadoodles, this CD has got hundreds of papers, embellishments and images for you to print and play. I will throw in some Craftwork Cards Candi,, and some of their paper bows as well....

SET TWO

Now if you fall into the category 'rest of the world' - if I was you I would be feeling a bit irritated at having a whole continent or two lumped together into a generic 'rest of the world', so to make up for that, you can choose which prize you would opt for if you win. So, all you have to do is leave your name and country under this post. It would be nice if you could share on your blogs or Facebook if you do that stuff, I will draw a winner next Sunday 20th April and let you know who won on the 21st. Good luck and I'll see you tomorrow x

OMG, you just cracked me up with the rest of the world comment!!! I'm from North America (more specifically Canada) and I love your post, specially when you do tutorial. I'm thinking about getting the scan N cut. Hugs, Brigitte

I have a friend in Australia who recently got a Scan N Cut, so I sent her to see your posts. I'm sure she'll love them. I'd love the DVD. Which is great since I'm in the US;) You are so sweet to bring some Michaels things for your European friends. I'm sure they'll love them. TFS Hugs, Jess

My name is Terri Wojtowicz & I live in Ohio, in the USA or north America, however you want to look at it. I would be so honored to win, I lost EVERYTHING I had in a dryer fire that burnt through the floor into the craft room that most envied. I lost all my equipment, supplies, storage, paper.....you name it I lost it so winning this would be a true Godsend. I have never been so depressed in all my life except when my son died. Thank you for the opportunity.

How fun! Would love to win some goodies from the UK. I'm in the US of A. Thanks!By the way, we've finally got some beautiful weather, right not it's 77* where I live in Western NY State, but they are saying possible snow showers for Tuesday. What the heck is that about?

I am in Australia - Margaret from Geelong - would love any of your giveaways - I was seriously thinking of moving when I saw the Packs that were being offered in 1 and 2....don't know I could get moved by Sunday tho. So much help with scanNcut and appreciate all those that give of their time in this way.

I thought I left a comment but could not find one. I am going to take the Scan and Cut out of the box this week. I was going to do it today and Mom is sick again so I am spending the most part of the day at her house. I would love to win these CD's... So I could scan them in and see how they do. Great Job as usual still having some FB problems.

Great advice. Since it is 1.35 in the morning here in the UK and I can't get to sleep, I'm not sure the rest of the family will appreciate me waking up the brother SNC right now so it will have to wait till the morning, lol. Thanks for sharing. Ela xps I'll put a link to this on my blog in the morning.
